[Pkg-mpd-maintainers] Bug#619047: mpd: MPD dumps core when log file location is not available

[Timo Boettcher]

Package: mpd
Version: 0.15.12-1.1
Severity: minor


MPD dies and dumps core when its configured logfiel locations is not available (for example when the remote filesystem is not available).
It should exit without dumping core.

log: problem opening log file "/afs/myserver.tld/service.mpd/music/mpd.log" (config line 4) for writing
[1]    978 abort (core dumped)  mpd --no-daemon
